The ZEE Company

What The ZEE Company does

The ZEE Company, Inc. is a privately held, FAA (EA2R787K) and EASA (145.5097) approved Part 145 aircraft repair station founded in 1966 and headquartered at 123 Braniff Drive, San Antonio, Texas. The company provides worldwide commuter/regional repair, overhaul, and exchange services for Unlimited Rating Class 1, 2, and 3 aircraft accessories, specializing in twin-engine turboprop aircraft. Its service scope spans a broad range of accessory systems, including starter-generators, hydraulic pumps and pressure regulators, de-ice distributing and ejector valves, air conditioning cooling turbines and flow control valves, pneumatic air regulating valves, fuel and water-injection boost pumps, flight control and landing gear actuators, propeller unfeathering pumps, engine solenoid valves, and lighting components. Overhaul work is performed in accordance with FAR 43.2(a), comprising disassembly, cleaning, inspection, repair, reassembly, and testing.

The business operates a single unified service offering organized by aircraft system category rather than discrete product lines. It generates revenue through two mechanisms: service fees for overhaul, repair, and test operations on customer-owned units, and the sale and exchange of overhauled accessories held in inventory. The exchange program allows operators to receive serviceable units while their own components are being overhauled, minimizing aircraft downtime. Standard warranty terms are six to twelve months on overhauled units, 90 days on repaired units, with special prorated warranty terms on certain cooling turbines.

Go-to-market is a direct B2B, sales-led motion targeting aircraft operators, airlines, and other MRO facilities. Customers verify stock availability through industry-standard aviation marketplaces ILS (Inventory Locator Service) and Partsbase, then submit RFQs and purchase orders via email ([email protected]). Quotation-based, pay-as-you-go pricing requires part number, quantity, description, and manufacturer, with quotation response times of 2-5 business days and same-day shipping for stock items ordered before 9:00 am PST. The company accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Key operational contacts include Derek Zaiontz (Repairs) and Troy Rose (Machine Shop).

Direct peers

Directly comparable to ZEE as a multi-category aircraft accessory repair station serving operators and MROs.
• Associated Aerospace: Associated Aerospace is an FAA/EASA-approved aircraft accessory repair station offering overhaul and exchange of accessories including hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical, and fuel components. Closely comparable niche and service model to ZEE's twin-engine turboprop accessory overhaul business.

Broad incumbents

• StandardAero: StandardAero is one of the largest independent aerospace MRO providers, offering component repair and overhaul across engine, airframe, and accessory systems. Comparable to ZEE in accessory MRO capability but operates globally with vastly larger scale and OEM authorizations.
• AAR Corp: AAR Corp is a global aerospace aftermarket provider offering parts supply, component repair, and MRO services across commercial and defense aviation. Overlaps with ZEE in the aircraft accessory and parts distribution space but at significantly larger scale.
• Collins Aerospace: Collins Aerospace (an RTX business) manufactures and services a broad range of aircraft systems and components, including hydraulics, pneumatics, and electric power accessories. Competes with ZEE on accessory repair and overhaul through OEM-authorized service centers.
• Honeywell Aerospace: Honeywell Aerospace provides OEM-authorized MRO services for its manufactured components including starter-generators, valves, and electronic accessories. A broader incumbent that competes with ZEE in accessory overhaul, especially on Honeywell-branded parts.

Emerging players
